The dragon was the head of a scale worm.
It had nine shapes: the head of a cow, the horns of a deer, the eyes of a prawn, the ears of an elephant, the neck of a snake, the abdomen of a snake, the scales of a fish, the claws of a phoenix, and the palms of a tiger.
There were eighty-one scales on its back, representing the number of nine by nine.
Its voice was like a copper plate.
There was a beard beside its mouth, a pearl under its chin, and a reverse scale under its throat.
It could be visible or hidden, thin or large, short or long.
It could ascend to the heavens at the spring equinox, dive into the abyss at the autumn equinox, call the wind and summon the rain, omnipotent.
There were five grades of dragons in the world.
First-grade, the ordinary dragon, was ten feet long, could soar through the clouds, and had the strength of ten thousand horses!
Second-grade, the true dragon, was thirty feet long.
It could control wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, and thunder!
Third-grade, the heavenly dragon, was a hundred feet long. It could soar to the heavens and enter the earth, overturn rivers and seas, and was the hero of the heavens and earth!
Fourth-grade, the holy dragon, was a thousand feet long. It was the lord of dragons, knew the sun and moon, and controlled the changes of day and night. It had a long life, and was immortal!
Fifth-grade, the emperor of dragons, was the god of the ancient dragons, and controlled reincarnation, cause and effect, and fate. There were five Dragon Emperors, who presided over the ages, and ruled over billions of dragons!
…
The Jiang tribe was located in the southeast of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty.
Here, there were mountains and valleys, stretching for millions of miles. The land was vast, and the land was rich. It produced Fire Dragon Crystals, and was a prosperous place for the dynasty.
The Jiang tribe Dragons, with a population of about a hundred thousand, guarded the mountains in the southeast for thousands of years.
The so-called 'ancient' was a thousand years, and 'ancient' was a million years.
The Jiang tribe Dragons had lived here for generations, guarding the territory of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty. Throughout the ages, countless heroes were born, either stunning the world, or dying in battle.
Time was heartless. No matter how glorious a hero was, he was now just a tombstone, standing in the Jiang tribe Dragons' ancestral tomb.
Today, tens of thousands of dragons were still guarding the homeland that belonged to the Jiang tribe Dragons!
The Clan Leader of the Jiang Clan Dragons was known as' Jun 'during the Yan Dragon Emperor's reign.
The name of this generation's Jiang Dragon Lord was Jiang Zizai. Jiang Zizai was a hero of the present age. At the age of 18, he reached the Ascending Dragon Realm and inherited the essence blood of a Rank 3 Heavenly Dragon, the Crimson Horned Devil Dragon, on the Coiling Dragon Pillar. He then fought his way through the world and was now one of the strongest Dragon Lords in the Yan Dragon Emperor's Empire.
Jiang Zizai, the name of the Red-horned Demonic Dragon, shook the world!
During his many years as Jiang Longjun, Jiang Zizai had made great contributions. The millions of mountains in the southeast and tens of thousands of mystical dragons respected Jiang Longjun.
However, Jiang Longjun had been missing for a full ten years.
…
The Dragons of the Jiang Clan were divided into five prefectures based on their bloodline. Among them, the Central Clan Prefecture was the most respected, followed by the North, South, East, and West prefectures. The Prefecture Master of the Clan Prefecture was Jiang Zizai.
Jiang Clan Five Mansions.
Scattered across millions of mountains, the capital city of the Clan Prefecture was the Jiang Dragon City, which stood at the highest peak of the mountains. The Jiang Dragon City was built by the first Jiang Dragon Lord and had a long history!
Only dragons with noble bloodlines, the 8,000 Mystical Dragons of the Clan Prefecture, could live in the Jiang Dragon City and accompany Jiang Longjun.
The Jiang Dragon City was hidden in the clouds. From afar, the 100-zhang tall city wall looked like a giant dragon that was tens of thousands of miles long. It circled the peak of the mountain and looked down on all living things. The majesty of the dragon made all living things bow down to it.
The clouds lingered and the morning light was like gold. It pierced through the clouds and made the Jiang Dragon City shine even brighter. Vaguely, one could see the mystical dragons dancing and roaring above the Dragon City.
Today, the Jiang Dragon City was especially lively.
The Jiang Dragon City, which originally had 8,000 mystical dragons, had a total of 30,000 mystical dragons.
The reason was that a large number of mystical dragons from the North, South, East, and West prefectures had come to the Jiang Dragon City.
Today was the grand festival of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty — the Yan Dragon Ritual.
The ruler of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty was one of the Five Dragon Emperors. He was the ancestor of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty and was known as the Yan Dragon Emperor.
The Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty was said to be the highest grade mystical dragon, a Fifth Grade. He was the emperor of the dragons.
It was said that he had existed for thousands of years and was almost the same as the history of the entire Jiang tribe.
To all the mystical dragons of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty, the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty was a god. He ruled over everything, guarded the dynasty, and brought good fortune to the world.
The entire Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty's mystical dragon blood essence came from the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty.
Everyone in the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty was qualified to enter the Dragon King Altar when they reached the Ascending Dragon Realm. They could inherit a mystical dragon's blood essence from the Coiling Dragon Pillar built by the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty. Once they turned into a dragon, they could ascend the dragon and soar into the sky!
The Yan Dragon Ritual and Ascending Dragon Transformation were the most important days in everyone's life.
For example, Jiang Zizai was not a descendant of the previous Jiang Longjun, but he had obtained the Third Grade Divine Dragon, the Sky Dragon, the Ruddy Horned Demon Dragon's blood essence in the Yan Dragon Ritual.
He turned into a Sky Dragon and grew even stronger. In the end, he defeated the previous Jiang Longjun and became the new Jiang Longjun.
The Flame Dragon Sacrifice and the Dragon-ascending Transformation were fair to everyone.
Among the mystical dragons, ordinary dragons were the lowest. More than 90% of the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty were ordinary dragons.
If one could obtain the Second Grade True Dragon's blood essence from the Coiling Dragon Pillar, his talent would surpass 90% of the mystical dragons. His future would be limitless.
If one could become a Sky Dragon, it would be even more terrifying. There were no more than five Sky Dragons in the entire Jiang Clan Dragons.
If one could obtain the Sky Dragon's blood essence, he would be a big shot under the Dragon Monarch.
As for the Fourth Grade Holy Dragon, it needed to be personally bestowed by the Yan Dragon Emperor Dynasty. Once he succeeded, he would be the Dragon King. For example, the Domain Master of the Prison Dragon Domain, which included the Jiang Dragons and dozens of other clans, was the Dragon King.
The Dragon King was below one dragon and above billions of dragons!
…
In the entire Jiang Clan Dragons Dynasty, only the Great River Dragon City had the Dragon King Altar and the Coiling Dragon Pillar.
Therefore, on the day of the Yan Dragon Ritual, the elites of the five prefectures of the Jiang Clan gathered in the Great River Dragon City.
The Yan Dragon Ritual was held every year. This year, there were young Dragons who had reached the Ascending Dragon Realm and were prepared to be bestowed the Flame Dragon Emperor Dynasty's blood essence during the Yan Dragon Ritual. They would transform into dragons and fly between heaven and earth.
In the sky above the Great River Dragon City, there were thousands of mystical dragons flying. Most of them were ordinary dragons, but there were also countless types of ordinary dragons, such as the Red Dragon, Black Dragon, Purple Dragon, Blue Dragon, Unicorn Dragon, and so on …
Ordinary dragons did not have the ability to summon wind and rain. However, when they grew to the extreme, they were giant beasts with the strength of ten thousand warhorses.
Dragon horns and dragon scales shone in the clouds.
The dragons roared with great passion.
Occasionally, a True Dragon soared into the sky, and the ordinary dragons dodged. The True Dragon could control water and fire, and the flames soared into the sky, adding some color to the endless sky.
The dragons danced wildly in the clouds, and many young people below who had not yet transformed into dragons were envious.
The Dragons of the Flame Dragon Emperor Dynasty had to cultivate after birth to transform into dragons. First, they had to surpass the True Martial Realm to strengthen themselves and reach the Ascending Dragon Realm. Only then could they transform into dragons.
Jiang Zizai reached the Ascending Dragon Realm at the age of eighteen. In the history of the Jiang Clan Dragons, he was a peerless genius. It was reasonable that he could become a Sky Dragon.
For others, reaching the Ascending Dragon Realm before the age of thirty was considered a genius. Most people would reach the Ascending Dragon Realm at the age of fifty. Some people even failed to reach the Ascending Dragon Realm before the age of a hundred. Then, they would have no hope of transforming into dragons and could only die.
Of course, even if they became dragons, they would be the lowest level of ordinary dragons.
Today, the Dragon King Altar in the center of the Great River Dragon City was in full swing. Mystical dragons were flying above it, and elders were worshiping. It was extremely solemn and dignified.
"Come down."
It was unknown who shouted.
Countless mystical dragons descended from the sky and turned into human forms. They squeezed into the crowd and stretched their necks to look forward.
"Is Kang Shin-mu out yet?"
Everyone was waiting for him.
Because he was Jiang Zizai's only son.
